Jackson told Sci-Fi Wire his work is completed on Afro Samurai, an animated
series based on the Gonzo comic Book. The actor voices Afro, the titular Samurai,

Sam said. The series is set to premiere next October on Us' Spike TV.
Taking
a cue from the 30 second bunnies, Fox Searchlight has posted their upcoming fantasy
thriller "Night Watch" in its entirety - yes, the WHOLE movie

Production
is reportedly getting under way for… (Can't believe I'm writing this) "Jackass
2" down in Florida. A tipster for MoviesOnline
reports sighting of Johnny Knoxville and his gang hard at work. After all, the

Sci
Fi UK News alleges 19-year-old Courtney Webb is frontrunner to play Miku
in the big screen adaptation of video game Fatal Frame. The story (boasted as
inspired by true events) sees the young heroine quest to save her disappeared
brother from a haunted mansion, armed with a magical camera that can capture spirits
and ghosts (based on true events???).
"Evan
Almighty" has an official opening date: Dec.22 2006. The Steve Carell
comedy, which sees him sent by God to build an Ark, will go head to head against
"Charlotte's Web" and "A Night at The Museum".
